IK Multimedia and Sonic Reality are proud to announce that the "Miroslav Refill Series" is now shipping.

The Miroslav Refill Series from Sonic Reality are 6 new titles plus a Miroslav Refill Gold bundle containing collections of high end Orchestra and Choir sounds from the legendary archives of Miroslav Vitous.

Now for the first time ever, Reason users have access to a world-class orchestra and choir collection that comes up like a plug-in within Reason 3 via custom Combinator modules designed to make working with these expressive sounds inspiring and easy to use.

This powerful series features the award-winning symphonic and choral samples originally recorded by Miroslav Vitous that have previously sold for over $4,000 as one of the first high-end sample collections. These sounds have now been custom tailored specifically for Reason 3 users with thousands of inspiring sounds done with the same "orchestral and choir workstation" approach that Sonic Reality and IK Multimedia are known for with plug-ins such as Miroslav Philharmonik.

Each Miroslav Refill comes on a DVD and contains some of the most lush and beautiful symphonic samples ever. They feature a variety of performance articulations and special performance programming to add a professional symphonic touch to any track in any style of music from classical to dance, rock, R&B, hip hop, film scoring and more.
